No it won't. The recall is for the connection between the battery cable and the main bus cable that runs to the engine bay. The side of the cable where the BST is is not touched. I watched them perform the work and they didn't even open the panel where the battery is located. The whole time at the dealer took about 2 hours with all the paperwork processing, doing the job, and a car wash afterwards. They even did a regular inspection such as top off certain fluids, air in tires, etc...

So I show up to the dealer, and I'm eager to pick up my loaner and be on my way. Well, turns out they never wrote down that I wanted a loaner when I made the appointment.
They offered me a one-way shuttle ride, but I opted to just wait. They said it'd take 90 mins, and they'll try to speed things up due to the mixup.
I was out 30 mins

I finally got my recall notice in the mail today. It's funny because I remember reading about it in this forum three months ago. I love this forum.
